Of all people to fall for, why did it have to be Teacher Zihong, the one who specialized in high heels and inflicting pain? She was three times more terrifying than the most fearsome instructor at the Military University!

Last time in combat training, she had stood by while Chucks injured them, and then even took a blade to them herself, leaving the twins with a lingering shadow of fear concerning her.

Later, hearing she had resigned out of guilt brought a pang of unease.

After all, she hadn't genuinely intended to hurt them; she had even shielded them from countless subsequent assassination attempts.

Moreover, she was Ziye's older sister.

Now, hearing that name, they couldn't help but spare a moment of pity for the future teenagers of the Angel Domain.

Teacher Zihong was going to flay them alive, weren't they?

Teacher Zihong paired with Lan Li—one savage, one sinister—the future of the Angel Domain looked bleak indeed.

Both brothers were far too confident in Lan Li, completely failing to realize that the terrifying Teacher Zihong they imagined might not even spare Lan Li a second glance!

Hanging up the ultra-com, the twins sat on opposite sides of the hospital bed, whispering to each other.

"Should we just escape?"

"They can't get in here anyway; no one would know if we were here or not..."

The twins shared the same thought. They slid off the bed, put on their shoes, and then abruptly noticed a shadow flash past the doorway. Sprent sprang up and rushed to open the door, only to see an elegant figure quickly rounding a corner and vanishing from view.

Was that... her?

Aix slipped on his shoes and chased after her, calling out, "Who was that?"

Sprent gave a mysterious smile. "We'll find her for dinner later."

The two quietly left via the hospital's side entrance. Once outside, Sprent activated his ultra-com. "Do you have time tonight? We brothers would like to treat you to dinner."

Aix leaned in for a look. The other party hadn't enabled video; the interface clearly displayed: Xashini.

He couldn't help being surprised. "How come it's her?"

Sprent just smiled without answering. You'll see in a bit.

After confirming the dinner arrangement for the evening, the twins returned to their apartment to shower and disinfect, completely unaware of the tumultuous waves currently crashing inside Xashini's heart.

Xashini had once believed she liked Sprent, but she constantly found herself unable to distinguish between Aix and Sprent.

If even they couldn't tell the difference, could it truly be called liking?

Xashini usually exuded as much elegance and composure as possible, but she was never indecisive. To gain clarity about her feelings, she made sure to watch every match the Chuqi Team played in the Mecha Grand Prix.

Naturally, that didn't yield any conclusive results.

On the day of the championship final, she stood in the back row of the spectator stands, watching the twins appear monumentally large on the screen. Observing their gazes and smiles, she suddenly understood.

The twins only had eyes for each other.

They were the true match made in heaven; no one could ever tear them apart.

She hadn't intended to break them up, but in that moment, she realized.

She could never integrate herself into their world.

Xashini felt a touch of sadness, yet also a profound sense of relief.

After the twins were admitted to the hospital, she considered visiting, but ultimately she couldn't bring herself to walk up to them and offer a proper greeting. Instead, she fled like a defeated person.

Now, receiving their ultra-com message, Xashini gave a wry smile and shook her head.

This was for the best; it would allow her to finally give up completely.

She looked at the dimmed screen of the ultra-com, started her airship, and headed toward her beauty salon.

Work first, then forget all unpleasantness.

As soon as she arrived, Lingyin broadcasted a group call, cheerfully saying, "Sweeties, are you free for dinner tonight? It feels like we haven't had a proper celebration yet. Also, Twins, are you discharged from the hospital?"

Aix laughed. "We're having dinner with Xashini tonight; do you all want to join?"

Xashini stared at the message, violently twitching the corner of her eye. How had she not realized the twins were such jerks before? To blurt something like that out in a group chat—where would she even show her face after this?

Lingyin cackled. "Xashini, do you mind if we tag along? If you do, we'll postpone until tomorrow."

Xashini twitched the corner of her eye again. Could she say no?

Not wanting to speak, she opened her keyboard and typed: "No." Before she could send it, Sprent chuckled, "But we were hoping for a little threesome with Xashini..."

Xashini nearly spat a mouthful of blood onto the light screen.

All the high and mighty ideas she'd held about the twins—their sophistication, their helpfulness, their care for friends—turned out to be utter lies.

Her years of refined lady training suppressed the urge to go ballistic. After a long silence, she deleted the "No" and spoke up: "It's fine, it's just dinner after all."

Shortly after, Lingyin's private message popped up. "Are you really okay with it? I suddenly feel like I've wronged you."

Xashini shot back two words: "I'm fine."

By this time, Sprent had changed the subject. "By the way, will Little Ye be able to come tonight?"

Li Chunyu asked, confused. "Why wouldn't she?"

Aix laughed heartily. "I heard Little Ye has a boyfriend. I wonder if they have plans for a date tonight."

When Yi Yi first heard that Ziye and An Junlie were together, he felt a pang of melancholy.

His good friend had suddenly become the Commander's lover.

In other words, Ziye, who used to be like a little sister, had suddenly advanced a generation on him.

This was illogical!

It was so rare to find a friend he truly clicked with.

But in the future, when he saw Ziye, he’d have to address her as 'Master's Wife'—just thinking about it gave him a headache.

Ziye dating was indeed a major piece of news.

Among the people in the group chat, only Lingyin and Bobo were genuinely happy for Ziye; everyone else's expression shifted in various ways.

Li Chunyu was utterly stunned!

Without a doubt, he was fond of Ziye.

He had been agonizing over finding the right moment to confess his feelings to her.

During the mecha competition, he had noticed how well he and Ziye complemented each other, how their understanding grew; he thought Ziye felt the same way about him.

But now, under such an unexpected blow, Aix had thrown a massive bomb into his heart, shattering it into fragments that could never be pieced back together.

His hand trembled violently over the light screen, shaking again and again, before he finally managed to type a complete sentence: "Is Ziye's boyfriend Teacher Tang Wen?"

Yi Yi still remembered seeing Tang Wen waiting for her by the door yesterday.

He remembered Tang Wen holding her little sprout figurine.

If their relationship hadn't reached that level, Ziye wouldn't have given the sprout figurine to him, right?

Li Chunyu became increasingly ashen-faced as he thought about it.

Ziye agreeing to be with Tang Wen meant she liked him too?

Sprent answered loudly, "It's not Teacher Tang Wen; Teacher Tang Wen isn't suitable for Ziye at all, too proud and prickly."

Li Chunyu suddenly felt like vomiting blood.

If it wasn't Tang Wen, he couldn't accept it!

Why was it that after spending two years with Ziye, he couldn't compare to some unknown person who suddenly appeared?!!!

Who was this person who made even Teacher Tang Wen admit defeat?
